Which direction does the sink water spin on the equator?

Water will go down a drain in any direction, depending on any previous rotation the water may have had, as well as the shape of the container and any angle of the bottom of the tub or basin. The Coriolis Effect, which determines actual and apparent spin, is a right turn (drain counter-clockwise) in the northern hemisphere and left turn (drain clockwise) in the southern hemisphere, but is a weak influence compared to the other factors that can influence the direction of spin.


Which way does water go down drain in Australia?

It may go down in any direction - depending on how the water was spinning at first. If the faucet which you use to fill a container is ever so slightly inclined to the left or to the right, this will give the water a spin that will last for at least a day. Coriolis effects - effects due to the rotation of the Earth - are usually quite secondary.


Why won't the Whirlpool type 111.05 washer spin or drain?

There is a problem with the 'wig/wag', the device that switches transmission into spin/drain. They are not difficult to repair. Google it or look on Youtube.


Why does water in a filled up basin drain out in clockwise circle and not an anti clockwise circle?

A basin is too small to have some vast geological effect, it goes which ever way any random motion starts it in, and can flow out without ever developing a circular motion. (Note that IF it does start to spin, then the spin rate increases as it get closer to empty. [Conservation of momentum.])


Kenmore washing machine will fill with water and drain off but will not spin water out or wash?

If a Maytag washer fills with water but does not agitate it could a problem with the switch in the lid. There is a switch that locks the lid down during agitation and spinning. The magnet could be defective.

How does the water turbine do what it does?

Water traels thru a pipe called a penstock then hits a turbine and the force makes the turbine spin. The energy created travels thru copper coil and goes to the generator. the water meanwhile goes to the river

What a fine question: How can you repair something made by GE? Repair WHAT exactly?


Can you put Drano in the washing machine tub and spin out so it goes into the drain pipes?

No reason why not - simply run the machine 'empty' (with no washing in) - and follow the instructions on the packaging. It's a good idea - especially if you're in a 'hard water' area. Performing periodic cleaning of an empty machine will prolong its life.


How do you increase and stop the spin in skating?

To increase the spin, pull in your arms and they will stop slowing the spin down. Keeping them out will slow the spin down and you will spin for a smaller period of time. To stop the spin, stick your toe-pick into the ice, and you will stop. I hoped that helped you! :D
